Always messing around with my hair and today is a rather blue day 💙
.
My husband, son and father in law were all shocked and it tickled me to see their reactions. The colour is a wash out, designed to fade in time.
.
Putting yourself out there is a little like writing a novel and letting strangers read it. Not everyone is going to like it. But that’s ok. 🖌

I walked past a bookshop yesterday. In fact, I failed to walk past and instead went inside.
.
Bookshops have to be THE most exciting spaces on any town High Street. Full of unknown worlds of entertainment. Lurking. Just waiting for a hand to reach out and turn the first page. Hoping eyes will devour words and the reader falls into a chasm of intrigue.
.
Since falling just a little bit in love with this man when I read his #onwriting I’ve bought five of his novels but not yet read one. Concentrating recently on romance novels, for obvious reasons, I’m ready now to branch out and be scared!
.
I actually write a lot of dark stuff. And enjoy doing so! So let’s see how #thebest does it 📖

The day is split into 30-minute pieces by my hourglass ⏳
.
Some pieces are spent in my workshop doing what I need to do.
.
Some are spent at my computer working on my book, doing what I want to do.

Coffee at all times - I think this could work out quite well 🖌🐴🖌🐴🖌🐴😂

Usually the coldest place on Earth, Manningtree station today is a calm and warm haven for wildlife!
🐝
I’ve seen bees on the geraniums, can hear songbirds chirping in nearby trees and spied a beetle travelling up the Victorian age pillar...

A throwback photo to my son doing a Harry Potter quidditch scene about four years ago, before attending school in my dressing gown 🙈 for a World Book Day 📚🤣
.
I don’t think he’s read a novel since his enforced GCSE titles. It’s sad, from my POV, because I think he’s missing out.
.
But he doesn’t think that. He was/is dyslexic and so always found reading tiresome. But he’s a film addict so he enjoys many authors’ work - simply in the adaptation format 🎥
